Ubisoft Connect (UPlay, Ubisoft Game Launcher)

The bug has been analysed in this Lutris ticket: github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/5412

Solution: A DLL override for libglesv2.dll: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="libglesv2.dll=d"

Ubisoft Connect works straight out-of-the-box on wine-staging 7.14 (corefonts not needed). But when the wine "Windows Version" is set to "Windows 10", the login window stays transparent and gets stuck. The logs show HLSL/d3dcompiler fixme messages.

But it works fine after running `winetricks d3dcompiler_47`, or after using `winecfg` to add a library override of d3dcompiler_47 as "Native (Windows)".

Does not work for me on wine 9.11-staging. Getting a blank ubisoft connect window on macos.

Did you install corefonts with winetricks?

Yes, corefonts are installed.

For me, it seems like here are 2 applications involved. One is the current developed uplay version. Available on their homepage. And an very old, "legacy" uplay, which is not anymore developed ( means: no security updates! nor bugfixes).
When creating an entry, please clearly state what _exact_ version is used. The old crappy legacy one (which does not work with new content like anno 1800 beta), or the new one which is simply total incompatible to wine 4.0

The legacy one starts with corefonts installed. The new one just crashes with a wierd message and some bytes displayed.

Distro : Linux Mint 19. Wine version : 3.20 Staging.

Installing Uplay in a fresh prefix (with the Windows 7 default setup), then running it to show the login screen seems to run fine... Then, as soon as I strike a key to enter my Uplay username, the whole Wine desktop freezes to death. I tried a few times - same result.

Here is the whole output: pastebin.com/95GN7MAQ (the last line is produced as the desktop freezes).

Looks like it is 3.20 regression.
I`ve tested vanilla 3.20 and 3.19 in ubuntu 18.4; 3.19 works, 3.20 hangs.

i was wondering what can i do on a macbook pro to use and get past the bugs and all that usng wine and uplay

Well, you can start with installing wine-staging, winetricks, installing corefonts using winetricks - and trying to install and run uplay.
If it breaks on the way - you can try to collect the console output and post it here.

Installing Winbind fixed the following error:
"p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
002c:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution."
Also, I set the rasapi32 library as "native", which fixed some other errors.
However, that didn't fix the non-connection problem.
I read that it was declared fixed as of Wine 3.13 Staging. I wonder what's missing in my configuration to get Uplay work with Wine 3.17 Staging (since Linux Mint 17.3 is supposed to be based on Ubuntu 14.04).
Please feel free to move that comment where it belongs.

ubuntu 18.04.1 64bit, wine-staging 3.13 (64bit, win7, dxvk 0.65)

bought far cry 3: blood dragon with steam and ran into uplay updating and then crashing. windows xp, legacy-uplay -> game launches but FPS is surprisingly low + slowdowns etc. wanted to test x64 + win7 + newer uplay. crash crash crash.

uplay installs but on launch it's "unrecoverable error", exits. i started to investigate the crash with strace to see what is happening, and ... ... it didn't crash....

running "strace -o /dev/null -e trace=network -f wine64 Uplay.exe" actually, slowly, gives me a Uplay login screen and login succeeds. everything after login works. slowly.

of course, game performance is total garbage as the strace slows uplay and the game's uplay-DLL's down significantly :) .... but it works.

posting this so that someone wiser than me might find this useful, perhaps.

Can you please try the follwing on the clean ubuntu system:
1) install cabextract and winehq-staging (see wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu )
2) download winetricks ( see wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks ) and install corefonts package
3) install latest uplay from uplay.ubi.com

If that installation crashes for you - please post the crash logs (wine logs + debug.log from "Ubisoft Game Launcher" directory)
Maybe we can make something out of it.

Also can you please try to run FC3 independently from uplay launcher, to separate uplay-specific bugs from FC3-specific ones?

Thank you.

So... Tried all the things below.

Set winecfg to XP.
Uninstalled current uplay. Downloaded & installed legacy uplay.
Tried setting cryptnet.dll to "native" in winecfg -> libraries.

Wouldn't work.

Got working with:
lutris.net/games/uplay/

1. Install the ttf-mscorefonts over the applicationinstaller.
2. Use the Application "PlayOnLinux" to install the newest uplay client (64 Bit / Wine 2.19-staging).
3. Edit the Wine.cfg to Windows 10.
4. Start Uplay.
5. Enjoy

Previous FIX works for wine staging

Here is a quick fix for UPLAY
launch winecfg and set windows version to XP on uplay.exe uplayservice.exe uplaywebcore.exe
restart uplay it will say that the current version is not compatible and let you download the legacy uplay
launch wine uninstaller and disinstall current uplay
install legacy uplay
uplay WILL no more UPDATE
You should be able to login and play
